Chapter 256 To face the ancestors in order to have face!
Since the expedition, Ying Chengyu's troops have been either fighting or on the way to fight, and from time to time they will carry out a rush or forced march.
The rich war inspired their will, allowing Ying Chengyu's troops to always maintain a high fighting spirit.
But will cannot be converted into physical strength after all.
The continuous fighting has exhausted the physical strength and energy of the Qin army.
So after Ying Chengyu judged the situation of the battle, he decided to suffer a little longer.
After the Qin army went north and crossed Chencheng, they ordered the army to take boats and the soldiers to sail the boats. They went upstream along the chasm, then turned into Jishui and then went down the river.
Twenty days later, the Qin army finally disembarked on the north bank of Jishui and arrived thirty miles south of Yangjin.
But the Qin army scouts did not receive this treatment.
While the army was still drifting on the water, the Qin army's scouts were already heading toward Yang Jin.
As soon as Ying Chengyu got off the boat, all kinds of information had already gathered.
"Commander, the number of our troops in Yangjin City is unknown. The Yan army has about 80,000 troops and is launching attacks from the east, west and north of Yangjin City."
"Yan Army has a strength of about 80,000." The commander of the army will be General Qu, Prime Minister of Yan. The deputy general is unknown and there is no doubt that there will be no deputy general. "
"The grain of the Yan army was originally transported from the direction of Lingqiu. Six days ago, Qi State sent 10,000 troops across the river to attack the Lingqiu grain road. Later, the Yan Army's food route was changed to the direction of Neihuang. "The people stationed in Qi sent a message that Qi State has sent 30,000 naval troops to the north along the coast and marched towards the hinterland of Yan State."
"General Jian..."
After listening to all the messages carefully, Ying Chengyu thought thoughtfully: "Qi State also participated in the war?"
"Then this battle is really worthy of its name. The world is at war!"
A local war just to prove the power of Qin gradually developed into a world war, and the development of the war situation exceeded Ying Chengyu's expectations.
But Qi’s participation in the war is undoubtedly a huge benefit to Da Qin.
Although Qi is weak, Yan is even weaker than Qi!
Moreover, Qi’s navy is powerful and can directly threaten Yan’s rear.
With Qi's participation in the war, Ying Chengyu's pre-planned strategy must also change accordingly.
After pondering for a long time, Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Order!"
"The whole army marches urgently and will camp ten miles south of Yangjin City tonight to rest!"
"Send envoys to the Yan camp to persuade them to surrender."
"If the Yan army does not retreat, make food tomorrow (3:00) and send troops at sunrise (5:00)!"
Wang Ben was a little surprised: "Just press in with the army and attack tomorrow?"
Ying Cheng asked in a gentle voice: "If General Wang has any other good strategies, please don't hesitate to tell me."
Ying Cheng Xiang always believed that he had won several victories by relying on many lucky creations that spanned the ages.
But Wang Ben's ability has been tested by history.
Even without any transcendent creations, Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son still destroyed five kingdoms for the Qin Dynasty.
The military exploits of destroying two countries in a row and his status as a young master made Ying Chengxuan not feel inferior in front of Wang Ben.
But Ying Chengyu will never despise this famous general just because he destroyed two countries in a row.
Wang Ben cupped his hands and said: "The general just thought that the commander would find another good strategy and use strange tactics to defeat the enemy."
"I never thought that the commander-in-chief intended to use his majestic troops to force us forward."
"In this way, our army can fight a happy battle!"
The Battle of Wuyan Mountain , Wang Ben formulated delaying tactics based entirely on the strategic plan given by Ying Chengyu.
But in that battle, Wang Ben was very unhappy.
Looking at the battles to destroy Han, the battle to destroy Wei, and the battle to attack Chu, Wang Ben originally thought that Ying Chengyu was a commander who preferred to use cunning strategies and was good at looking for opportunities outside the battlefield.
Wang Ben didn't expect that Ying Chengyu would give up all plans for this battle. He only made a perfunctory attempt to persuade him to surrender and then started to attack!
Ying Chengxuan said casually: "The opponents are different after all."
"The Yan State has lost consecutive battles, and the morale of the Yan army is not high."
"Instead of doing this, The most dangerous strategy is to use a large army to arouse the fear of the Yan army!"
In the past, Ying Chengyu would subconsciously avoid frontal combat.
That's because Ying Chengxuan didn't have any trust in his own military command ability.
However, after experiencing the growth of the war, Ying Chengyu has the confidence to challenge the enemy head-on.
In this case, Ying Chengyu will naturally choose the most effective way of playing.
Wang Ben laughed loudly: "What the coach said makes sense!"
"Now that we are strong and the enemy is weak, why do we need to use so many schemes?"
"Surprise attack, encirclement and annihilation are the techniques of great victory!"
"General, please be the vanguard for this!"
Ying Chengyu shook his head: " The deputy general of our army is currently trapped in Yangjincheng, and we have asked General Wang to assume the position of deputy general of our army."
"There is another candidate for the position of vanguard."
Wang Ben is a little helpless.
Although this general is only the commander of a partial division, he is still a commander after all.
Isn’t it a bit bullying to ask this general to do the work of a deputy general in just one sentence?
Finally had the opportunity to get addicted to the game but was snatched away. Wang Ben asked with some reluctance: "I wonder which general is the vanguard in this battle?"
Ying Chengxuan had not yet answered, but he felt excited. The chants sounded from not far away.
“Soldiers!” Li Xin shouted angrily: “Follow me and go ahead to make a clear path for the army!”
Ying Chengyu smiled and said: "The vanguard of this battle is Li Duwei's army."
Although Li Xin was defeated by Xiang Yan in the original history, in Ying Chengyu's view, Li Xin was equally He is also a very good general, and his transition to Rufeng style of play is quite unique, and he is more than capable of serving as a vanguard.
After all, you can't say that those who can't beat Xiang Yu are weak chickens, and those who can't beat Lu Bu are ordinary people, right?
Compared to Li Xin, Wang Ben's tactical thinking is obviously more suitable for sitting in the middle army and assisting Ying Chengyu in checking for deficiencies.
Looking at Li Xin moving forward, Wang Ben reluctantly handed over his hand: "Wei!"
Li Xin didn't know that he was envied by Wang Ben. After getting off the boat, Li Xin led his army forward without stopping. At ten o'clock at noon, he had arrived ten miles south of Yangjin City.
Looking at the Yan army attacking Yangjincheng in the distance, Li Xin couldn't help but give an order: "Order!"
"Push forward one mile on the left wing and act as a nuisance!"
Li Xin There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
But the Yan army in front had 80,000 troops.
As long as some troops are allocated, the Yan army will have a chance to swallow up Li Xin's left wing, or even Li Xin's troops!
However, what Li Xin didn't expect was that the Yan army completely ignored Li Xin's bait and made no move after sending tens of thousands of infantry to stabilize the rear army.
Li Xin was unwilling to give in and continued to order: "The knights on the left wing move forward one more mile!"
Due to Ying Chengyu's order, Li Xin did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and could only wait for the two armies to move forward. Crazy testing and jumping around on the safety line.
"Captain Li, aren't you tired?" Hearing someone ask from behind him, Li Xin replied without turning his head: "I will not..."
But halfway through speaking, Li Xin suddenly realized that the voice sounded familiar.
Hurrying back, Li Xin saw Ying Chengyu and Wang Benzheng looking at him speechlessly.
Li Xin raised his hand and said, "Commander, I would like to say hello to the Yan Army." .”
Ying Chengyu did not expose Li Xin's intentions.
It's just that the young general saw the opportunity to gain military glory and couldn't help but want to gain both hands.
Ying Chengxuan just gave an order in a low voice: "Order!"
"Captain Li Xin's troops immediately set up camp and the main army rested."
"If it takes half an hour Before the resettlement was completed, he began to rest and take over his position as a pioneer! ”
Li Xin suddenly became anxious and immediately handed over his hand: "General, I will lead the army to rest now!"
Li Xin led the army in a hurry, but Ying Chengyu and Wang Ben were still standing in front of the formation.
Looking at the Yan army retreating back to their camp, Ying Chengyu frowned slightly: "Fight but not fight, retreat but never retreat."
"What does General Yan want to do?"
……
at the same time.
The middle army of the Yan army.
"Withdraw the troops! We must withdraw the troops!" Jiang Qu said firmly: "The Qin army is coming fiercely, and we, the Yan army, can never defeat it."
"Withdrawing the troops now, our army can still say that it is Bewitched by other countries. "
"Qin will not show its strength to our army easily because Zhao is involved."
"But if we do not retreat but advance instead, our army will undoubtedly be defeated!"
The Yan Badger said solemnly: "This is the king's order!"
"Please obey the order!"
“And the Qin army has experienced the battle to destroy Wei and the battle to attack Chu, and now they have to fight thousands of miles to attack Yang Jin. They must be extremely exhausted.”
“This is definitely a great defeat for Chang’an Jun. Excellent opportunity! ”
Yan Badger said sincerely: "As long as we can defeat the Qin army once and continue to involve Chang'an Jun's troops, Zhao will definitely continue to fight Qin."
"After Qin and Zhao fight, I, the Great Yan, can sit down Harvest the fishermen's profits."
"Not only can we seize many of the old Wei territories, we may even have the opportunity to attack the Zhao State and take back the territory that was invaded by the Zhao State."
"Such a good opportunity. How can you miss it!”
Yan Wangxi didn’t think he could win this battle.
King Xi of Yan now just hopes that he can involve Ying Chengyu's troops at a small cost and prompt Qin and Zhao to continue fighting to the death.
If Qin and Zhao can break out another war like the Battle of Changping, Yan will have a chance to regain its lost territory.
After his death, King Yan had the face to face his ancestors!
Jiang Qu said angrily: "After the Battle of Changping, the king took advantage of Zhao's weakness and sent 600,000 troops to attack Zhao, but Zhao general Xinpingjun led 100,000 new troops to counterattack all the way to Jicheng!"
“Even if Qin and Zhao fight to the death and suffer a lot of damage, is it easy for a fisherman to do this?”
"And the king promised the truth that this battle is completely under the command of the truth."
"This is the king's promise to the truth."
"Now why does the king go back on his word and why does he still interfere with the truth? !”
Yan Badger shouted: “How dare you!”
“How dare Xiang Bangan feel resentful towards the king!”
Jiang Qu smiled miserably: "You are resentful?"
He pointed at his ribs and said angrily: "If the truth is really resentful towards the king, the truth will be broken after the king kicked his ribs." I will never step foot on Yan soil in this life!”
In the past, King Xi of Yan wanted to attack Zhao. Lejian, Jiang Qu and others tried hard to persuade him, but King Xi of Yan not only refused to listen, but even kicked Jiang Qu.
After the war, King Yan sincerely apologized to everyone, and he accepted King Yan's apology and was used by King Yan again. However, Lejian, Lecheng and others decisively defected. Zhao Guo even led troops to attack Yan.
Jiang Qu angrily accused Lejian of being unfaithful countless times.
But at this moment, Jiang Qu finally understood why Lejian, Lecheng and others were so decisive.
They did not leave because King Yan did not listen to advice, but because they saw through King Yan's open-mouthed, unpromised, capricious, and stubborn character!
How can such a king accomplish anything?
Faced with the angry rebuke of a loyal minister, Yan Badger subconsciously took two steps back.
But then Yan Badger took another step forward and said in a deep voice: "I also know that Xiangbang is loyal to Dayan."
"Of course, since the king's order has been issued, how can the ministers not obey?"
"Please ask the prime minister to obey the order to attack Qin, or hand over the military power, and return to Jicheng to explain to the king!"
< br>After keeping him silent for a long time, he asked: "If I hand over the military power, who will be the general?"
The Yan Badger bowed his hands and said, "That is me."
He laughed: "You?"
"Just you?"
Yan Badger said solemnly: "That's me!"
Jiang Qu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and sighed helplessly: "Since the king is determined to fight. "
"My lord, we have no choice but to fight!"
"Please tell the king that this battle will be lost."
"The only thing I can do is to save more soldiers for my great Yan."
"In this way, you are completely loyal to my great Yan!"
Yan Badger He immediately said: "How can this battle be defeated? His Qin country..."
However, before Yan Badger could finish his words, Jiang Qu strode past him and walked out of the tent.
Facing the anxious eyes from outside the tent, he said in a deep voice: "It is your Majesty's will to continue attacking Qin!"
The morale of the generals outside the tent was obviously low.
Jiang Qu continued to speak: "Order!"
"Tonight when the rooster crows (1:00), we will make rice, and we will send troops on Pingdan."
"Captain Le Xun will be the vanguard. , attack the Qin army’s camp at night!”
